Guest guest Posted April 20, 2005 Report Share Posted April 20, 2005 I dont know if this will work but it does for cats and other animals that like to eat things or pee and poop in things. Try sprinkling cayenne pepper around in the dirt of the plants etc that you dont want eaten. Most animals with good noses stay away as it irritates them so much. Can also be put in water in a spray bottle and sprayed on. I used to do it when I had a cat the wanted to poop in my house plants, grrrrr. Never did it again after that.

Guest guest Posted April 22, 2005 Report Share Posted April 22, 2005 another way to protect your roses at least from the spider mites is LADYBUGs. I usually have to refresh every 2 years and buy them at my local Feed and Seed store. They store in your refrigerator till you are ready to set them free and it is best to release them at dusk. I love using these critters since I add rose petals to my soaps and I surely don't want anything that isnt organic touching these babies.

Guest guest Posted April 22, 2005 Report Share Posted April 22, 2005 you shouldn't kill the ladybugs... they are good luck so I have heard. As for getting em out of the house, I have no clue. I guess I have never been blessed with ladybugs in the house. Are they attracted to something in the house? maybe you could move it closer to the outside. I am really at a loss here. Sorry. There are several ladybug sites on the internet. Maybe you could do a search.
